Bishop Auckland & District
Angling Club
Welcome to Bishop Auckland & District Angling Club Website
Bishop Auckland & District Angling Club offers a wide choice of angling opportunities for the discerning angler. Based in County Durham - often referred to as one of England's best kept secrets - the Club welcomes members and visitors and offers:
*20 miles of fishing on the River Wear for Salmon, Sea Trout, Brown Trout & Grayling
*3 miles of fishing on the River Tees for Salmon, Sea Trout, Brown Trout & Grayling
*Prime Stillwater fishing for Rainbow Trout (Troutmaster Fishery) at Witton Castle Lakes
* Map Book of the various Beats - with named pools
The fishing beats of BAaDAC start up in Weardale at the picturesque village of Witton-Le- Wear stretching downstream to the village of Croxdale just outside Durham City. We believe that we offer some of the best fishing in the area, with various methods allowed depending on the beat being fished and the time of year.
A lot of the beats consist of double bank fishing allowing good access to all our waters. The Board of BAaDAC are committed to continuously developing the fishing for our members and we have a team of hard working bailiffs committed to maintaining the river banks.
Membership of the Angling club is available now by completing the application form available on the website. Passport photographs are required by the Angling club for production of the members ID card.
Day tickets are available for visiting anglers from the Fishing Lodge at Witton Castle Lakes. Current price is £25 per day.
